Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeDense lift accessLower published capacity
Altitude resilience The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1711 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 1.4 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 7,400 persons, about 185 persons/hour per lift and 135 per slope kilometre.
